New Mazda cars will stop if driver suffers health proble
TOKYO -- Cars already know how to park themselves, warn drowsy drivers, steer back into the right lanes and propose map routes to destinations. The cars Mazda has in the works for next year in Japan know when drivers have a stroke or heart attack.
Mazda told reporters recently it has been working with medical experts, including Tsukuba University Hospital, researching the collected image data to figure out what a healthy driver looks like, as opposed to an incapacitated driver, suddenly slumped forward over the steering wheel. Other major automakers, including Volkswagen of Germany and Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp., are working on similar technology.
